LEMONS AND LONGEVITY
Experience OF an Old Physician of Three
Score and Three-Eor Patients.

Experience of an Old Physician of Three
Score and Three-For Patients.
DR.. Otto Fullgraff, who founded the
Old Bond street dispensary, believes that
there is a wonderful deal of virtue in
lemons. DR.. Fullgraff numbers his years
by three score and three, but looks not
day over fifty. I'm 1875" he says, Il
began drinking lemonade regularly,
taking the entire juice of two or three
lemons at time in an ordinary goblet
of water, with a small teaspoonful of
sugar for each lemon, afterward rinsing
Hy mouth with clear water to remove
the acid and sugar from teeth and gums.
With rare exceptions, [ have now taken
lemonade in this way four times daily
for twelve years-upon rising in the
morning, about 1 O'Clock p. H., half an
hour before dinner and on retiring at
night; and whenever professional duties
prevented it, l have felt at once the
absence of the lemon juice in my system.
II take only two meals daily, but con-
sumo besides a considerable quantity of
. fruits of the season, such as grapes,
peaches, melons, oranges, etc. [ have
no taste for and do not use ale, porter.

weight was $50 pounds, my height being
as now five feet seven and half inches.
For several years past [ have weighed in
the neighborhood Of 100 pounds without
feeling the slightest inconvenience there
from. l enjoy practically perfect health,
the coating Of my stomach is unim-
paired, my step is quick and firm, my
nerves are steady as a rock and [ have
all the vigor of youth. During the forty
three years of my residence in New Y ork
I have not been out of the city altogether
more than six months, and I have been
in uninterrupted, active practice for over
thirty years.
''For twelve years past | have INDUCED

My head is not bald and there is but very
little gray in my hair. l am stronger,
both physically and mentally, than | was
twenty years ago, and am taken by
everybody to be ten or fifteen years
younger than I am. While l attribute
these favorable conditions largely to the
use of some 5000 lemons year, [ have
not 'lemons on the brain" My patients
frequently ask if it would benefit them
to drink lemonade as [ do. The answer
must necessarily depend upon the ap.
pearance, temperament, condition, etc ,
of the questioner. ] do not think that
lemon juice is injurious to anybody, hut
would not advise that my example should
be followed indiscriminately. People
are apt to rush to extremes ana do come
very foolish things when any new idea
is advanced although for that matter
lemons have been in domestic use for
ages. The trouble is that they hare been
used too sparingly Or in the wrong way.
After all that l have taken I cannot even
now suck piece of a lemon OF relish it
without the addition of sugar and water
Hence naturally conclude that the best
way to take it is in the shape Of lemon

A Noted Painters Poverty.

The exhibition of j. t. Millet' S pictures,
which constitutes for the moment the
leading artistic attraction in Paris, has
set French journalists ringing the changes
once more on the familiar story of the
artist S poverty and struggles. 1t is sat
isfactory to hear, on the authority of
Nine. Feuardent. the painters daughter,
that the facts of the case have been
grossly exaggerated,
Millet, she says, not only never knew
anything approaching want, but was
always in position to entertain his
friends Hospitality and to relieve the ne
cessities of his poorer neighbors, which
he did habitually and regularly. II is
true that he was poorly paid for his work,
but he was rarely paid less than he asked.
At once a remarkably modest and a
scrupulously honest man, he never could
be brought to ask prices for his pict-
ures which his brother artists and even
the dealers themselves told him they were
worth. He himself was perfectly satis-
fed with his artistic gains, and his life
was on the whole as tranquil and happy
as any man could desire,
The future of his children, no doubt,
cost him anxious thought, but he lived
to see his sons all settled in life and his
daughters well and happily married.

Speaking of Nassar, one of the students
there is daughter of President Rocka-
feller, of the Standard Oil company. She
is not robust, and is afflicted with a ten
derness of vision which has caused the
doctors to prohibit her from reading.
Undeterred by this misfortune, and per-
haps stimulated by it, she pursues her
studies with 5he help of an attendant who
reads to her Miss RockafellerS dilnness
of vision has not rendered her Indifferent
or unsympathetic to the hardships of
others. Some time ago she noticed that
two Of the college messengers, who per-
formed in her division services analogous
to those of bell boys in hotel, were
bright, intelligent girls. She thought it
q pity that such deserving fellow crea-
lures should be in great institution of
learning without an opportunity to avail
themselves of its advantages, like Tan
talus, lip deep in water, yet unable to
assuage his burning thirst. She appealed
TO her father in their behalf, and he in
generous fuPtherance of her kindliness
made arrangements to pay for the tuition
of his daughters prOteges throughout the
full college course. 1t is not such big
thing, perhaps, as the endowment of a
church or the contribution of large sum
to some popular movement, but it is an
act of quiet, unostentatious kindness that
derives much of its merit from the motive
and circumstances accompanying it.

1t is astonishing how much influence
dress has on ones feelings, In society.
any woman feels at ease if she is con-

has great influence on the actress. The

her wardrobe is expensive and fashiona-

plays the part of poor girl, her poverty
of attire will serve to remind her of her
imaginary sufferings and help her in Civ

Lady Gay Spanker describe that hunting
scene as enthusiastically as she does if
she wore short lawn dress. instead of a

most actresses the costume of the charac-
ter has much to do with awakening pro-
fessional enthusiasm, - Cora Tanner Sim

A gentleman who is interested in the
subject remarked lately to me: .'Oh, no,
don't travel about worrying people
about their signatures. Those of living
people have little value. | watch the
catalogues and pick up an autograph here
and there. There are certain stock sig
natures that every collector tries to get
as basis for his collection. For instance,
George Washington autograph is cheap
a: SO; a letter of the Father of his
Country is worth $50. Lincoln's hand
writing is quotable at IS. A real sweet
letter from the prince of Wales is worth
$3.50. Thomas Jefferson's letter is val
ued at $40, and his friend Franklin's is
worth $40. Bayard Taylor is ratable
from So to 500, according to the writing.
Hawthorne, who used to be cheap, is
having a bull movements, and chapter
from "Our Old Home" which sold for
$50 two years ago, is now held at $125.
Kings and queens come cheap. Ferdi
nand, of Ferdinand and Isabella fame,
has the call at $25; Queen Anne, SO;
james |, SIS, and Queen Victoria, $3.50.
OF the poets, $22.;j0 would bring letter
from Wordsworth; a poem by Tom
Moore is worth SO; Browning, $3.50,
while Cowper's name brings $40, and
that of Coleridge $50. James Addison,
who did not always receive pay for his
essays, has left letters, the most ordinary
of which are now quoted at $50, while
Keats three letters to Fanny Browne are
worth So, $125 and $3.50 respectively.
DIR. johnson comes high at from $50 to
$50 letter. Napoleon's autograph let
ters are quotable all the way from $50 to
$50. Here is bundle of autographs
that are a cheap job blot-signatures from
actresses, letters from senators and poll
clans. To particularize, such autographs,
like cheap mining stocks, vary. Senator
Vest is worth twenty-five cents; Presi-
dent Cleveland, 81. l dare say that such
q document as that which Councilman
O'Malley read lately in the council cham
ber would bring, with his signature, sew
enty-five cents. The chief value which
the autographs of rich men have is their
place, the price depending upon the size
of the check. &c. d. Townsend in

Sixty THOUSAND Relics.

Shang-le, or precious relics of Buddha,
are so abundant that only a miracle could
explain their number, DR. Medhurst
throws some light on their history. Ac-
Gording to Buddhists there are $4,000
pores in a mans body, and, therefore,
he leaves behind him 81, 900 particles of
miserable d lst in the course of transmit
grafton. Buddha had also S4, 900 pores
in his body, but by his resistance to evil
he was enabled to perfect $4,000 relics
through them, for which eight kings
contendei. A good and wise king,
named Ayuka, arose, who built 81, 900
pagodas to cover these $4,000 relics.
These relics still remain, but can only be
seen by the faithful. A good Buddhist
can sometimes discern one of these relics
illuminated with brilliant colors and as
big as cart wheel, when unbelievers are
unable to see anything at all.-An the

The death Of Herr Lersch, the Jack
Ketch of Cologne, is reported. He would
seem, from his obituary, to have been a
grim eccentric. For many years past he
has kept his coffin in his bedroom, as some
more eminent men have done. But
Lersch utilized the coffin as a wardrobe,
in which he kept his 'Dienst uniform, "
suit of black clothes worn by him when
ever he was called upon to dispatch a
Rhenish criminal out of the world. In
his last will he charged his executors to
take care that he was buried in his uni
form. As the eXccutioner of Cologne and
the Rhine provinces, he did not use the
rope or the ak, like his colleagues in other
states and provinces of the German en-

of justice with the guillotine, after the

paid shilling for hot bath at Brigh-

her head in at the door. She found her

Bernhardt never had corset. She has
never fastened a pair of stays around her
in her Life, which accounts for her sup
pleness and inimitable grace. For one
reason she has always been so thin that
there has been no need for corsets to con-
fine her into size small enough for her
gowns. When she goes to the dress
makers she wears a smooth, but not tight
waist of heavy white linen, which the
dressmaker fills out in hollow places with
a few folds of cotton batting, fitting the
waist of the gown over it. But this is
only Worn for smoothness and not to re-
duce her waist. On the stage she does
not wear even that, which accounts for
her long, smooth strides and the ease Of
her poses, that rather melt and dissolve

TIE LAND OF THE TOMORROW.

The faithful heart through time and tears
Still keeps its course nor dreams OF veering;
The heaviest pillows Of the years
But mark the haven that is nearing;
The waves may dash and thunders crash,
Yet from them twill more frmness borrow,
The peal and roar but point the shore
OF that blest Land of the Tomorrow.
Then when the toilsome journeys done,
And Death has crowned his faiths endeavol
He rests within the haven won,
Where Peace her scepter sways forever;
No mere the years with strife and tears
TO him can bring a thought Of sorrow,
For grief's sad face commands no place
Within the Land of the Tomorrow.
